Our ig22 Cover

The subject of our cover this year is a country-house in old historic Gorham,
Maine. The house was built nearly one hundred years ago. Perhaps the most
noteworthy features of the interior are the parlor, the decorations of which have
been preserved intact for eighty years, and a large hall or pleasure-room, with its gen-
erous open fire-place, crane and kettles, all as of ye olden time.

The grounds about the house are splendidly arranged — with terrace, sunken garden,
bowling green, ample lawns, shrubbery, etc., to charm and rest the visitor. A giant
clump of lilac bushes, nearly three-quarters of a century old, with its mass of blossoms,
is one of the beautiful sights of early spring.

The immediate locality was the scene of some of the most stirring episodes of the
Indian War. At the foot of the hill on which the house is situated, Cloudman and his
associates were captured, and just above the house are the remains of the Bryant cellar
where Mrs. Bryant saw her children killed by the Indians and she herself was taken
captive and carried to Canada. Elijah Kellogg’s famous book, “Good Old Times,”
tells these incidents and others of equal interest.

This wonderful old estate is now the property* of the Hon. Isaac W. Dyer of Port-
land and Gorham, whom we are privileged to count as one of our customers.

PEAS

Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early
in the spring as the ground can be worked, in
light, dry rich, loamy soil. The wrinkled vari-
eties are more tender and the seed is more
liable to rot and should not be planted when
the ground is cold and wet. The late varieties
do not require as rich soil as the early and
dwarf sizes. Sow in rows 3 to 4 feet apart
and about 1 inch apart in the rows, 3 to 4
inches deep. Peas grown as a market crop are
never staked, but when the taller sorts are
grown for private use they are generally sown
in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, and staked
with brush. For best results all garden peas
require good, strong, fertile soil.

this section.

All practical and experienced dairymen agree

grain is by far the most valuable for producing
a good quality as well as a large quantity of
milk, to say nothing of the much lessened amount
of grain necessary in the regular ration.

CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS— Annuals

General Directions For Cultivation

A rich, sandy loam is the best for most flowering plants. The soil of a good
garden should be deep, well pulverized, and if fertilizers are used they should
be thoroughly mixed with the soil.

It is best in practically all instances except hardy annuals to start the seed
in boxes, preferably a box about 18x24 inches and 4 inches deep, using very
sandy soil with leaf-mold that will not bake, and provide for drainage by boring
some holes in the bottom of the box. It is best not to put any fertilizer in
the seed box, since it is necessary to bring the plants to the third or fourth
leaf, when they should be pricked out and reset in another box, in which the
soil should be loam mixed with leaf-mold. It is important that the plant be of
good size, strong and sturdy, when finally transplanted in the garden.

If the seed be sown directly in the garden, it should be sown in the spring
after the soil is well worked and fertilized. When up, the plants must be
thinned from two to twelve inches, depending on the variety, otherwise they
will be weak and spindling. It is a mistake to leave plants too thick. A
common mistake in sowing flower as well as other seeds is covering too deep.
As a general rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds, or with
medium-sized seeds, like Balsams, Zinnias, etc., half ah inch or less is the
proper depth. Such fine seeds as Portulaca, Nicotiana, etc., need only to be
pressed into the soil with a piece of board or palm of the hand. Always press
the earth down firmly after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of
their drying up before the roots can get firm hold of the soil. Seeds of the
hardier annuals may be sown where they are to grow ; but as a rule, it is
preferable to transplant, as the plants are generally stronger and stand the
drought better. During very dry weather, and when the seedlings are first
set out, they should be watered frequently. Provide some support for all such
annuals as require it.

The weeds should be kept down and the ground loosened often, so that
the plants will receive the full benefit of the rains and dews, which they will
not if the ground is allowed to become hard and baked.

ASTERS

A popular half-hardy annual produced in a great variety of classes and an almost endless number of colors.
The tallest varieties grow about two feet high and some varieties of dwarfs are not six inches high. The best
method of culture is to sow the seed in boxes in March or April. Cover the seeds about one-fourth inch deep
with rich, light soil, and when the plants have three or four leaves transplant about 15 inches apart each
way. The seed can be sown in rows where the plants are to remain, thinning them from six to twelve inches
apart, according to variety. One of the best annuals for cut flowers.

NASTURTIUM

A popular flower which is in constant bloom through-
out the season, making a better display than almost any
other plant. New colors are being developed, and in
our list will be found all the best varieties that have
been introduced.

Nasturtiums are of the easiest culture and require
very little care after the seed is sown, merely weeding
and the seed-balls picked off. If these are permitted
to mature the beauty of the plant is soon lost. Plant
the seed one inch deep in moderately good soil. The
tall sorts are specially adapted for covering unsightly
fences or trailing over rocks and rough ground. Hardy
annual. ^

PANSY

Pansies thrive best in a moist, shady location and in
rich, loamy soil. Seed should be sown in the autumn
for early spring blossoms. If sown in the spring, get
it in as early as possible, so as to secure flowers during
the early rains. Seed sown in a cool place in May
or June, and well watered until up, will produce
fall-flowering plants. To have good flowers, the plants
must be vigorous and make a rapid growth; use
manure liberally.

coarse, indigestible matter and too rich a diet.

You wouldn’t think of feeding a young infant
beefsteak and coarse foods. And you can’t feed
baby chicks feeds high in fibre and protein and
expect them to thrive, or even live.

Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight
weeks, except a little greens, charcoal, grit, clean
water and some fine scratch grains in the litter
to induce exercise. Give grit and water from
the start. During the second week add greens
and in the fourth week chick size grains.

Conkey’s Puts vigor into your chicks when
they need it most. It is as carefully prepared
for baby chicks as a high class infant food for
real babies. It makes chicks strong and husky,
able to resist deadly diseases. The buttermilk
in concentrated form is in exactly the amount
needed as an aid in the prevention of bowel
troubles.

In addition to utilizing the manifold ad-
vantages of buttermilk, Conkey insists upon keep-
ing two other great principles in mind —
palatability and digestibility. To in-
sure palatibility nothing but materials
of highest grade — clean, fresh, and
wholesome — are allowed in the mixtures.

Digestibility is assured by holding
down the fibre content to 4 per cent and
the protein element to 12 per cent.

Thus the delicate organs are not broken
down trying to digest and assimilate

Newtown Giant Colony Brooders

“BUILT FOR LONG-
TIME SERVICE”

RAISE the Most Chicks, the Best Chicks,

You should have brooders which will raise good chicks
and lots of them — ^which are not expensive to buy — which
- do not demand costly buildings — which are economical of
~ labor and fuel — which will give continuously satisfactory
service for many years.

■ The Newtown Coal-burning Colony Brooder meets these

specifications. It was the first successful brooder of the
colony type offered to American poultrymen and thousands
are now in use in every State of the Union and nine foreign
countries.

: . The Newtown Colony Brooder is Coal-burning, Self -feed-
ing, Self-regulating, freely ventilated, safe and durable. It
will satisfy your most exacting demands. It is made in
sizes to fit your building and for any number up to 1,200
chicks. Gret the size you need, but be sure it’s a genuine
Newtown. There’s none “just as good.”

THE MOST REMARKABLE
COAL BURNING
BROODER EVER INVENTED

Makes three chicks grow where one grew
before; cuts the cost of equipment to less than
half ; cuts the cost of operation to less than half ;
reduces the time and labor to less than a fourth;
Guaranteed to raise more chicks and better chicks.

ABSOLUTE COMPORT FOR THE CHICKS. It is a well-established fact that every chick is not entirely
comfortable in the same temperature— some require a little more heat, while others require less. Under the
conditions provided by the Standard Colony Brooder, every chick can seek the precise temperature that suits it
best. If it needs plenty of warmth it moves closer to the stove, and if it requires less heat it moves farther away
from the stove. They follow the natural inclinations of nature.

IT IS ECONOMICAL, as it burns but three to six cents’ worth of coal in a day. In ordinary cool weather
it cannot burn more than three cents’ worth of coal, and with the weather below freezing it cannot burn more
than six cents ’ worth in a day.

THE INTERNATIONAL SANITARY HOVER

This hover or brooder is known as ‘ ‘ The One Perfect
Brooding Device.” For over ten years it has stood the
big test of raising chicks successfully and today retains
the points that have made it the most popular brooder
as well as the most successful.

SPECIFICATIONS

The Sanitary Hover is made in only one size, 100
chicks. That is the sanitary size.

Diameter of the hover is 28 inches. Height of hover
at center, 13% inches. Height of hover to top of draft-
pipe, 34 inches.

Curtain is six inches oversize to allow for shrinkage.
The hover itself weighs about 16 to 18 pounds. The
shipping weight is about 25 to 30 pounds.

Lamp bowl holds one quart of oil.

Every hover is furnished complete with curtain, lamp,
thermometer and operating directions. It is ready to use
except to put oil in the lamp fount and adjust the lamp
wick to secure the desired temperature.

It is the one self-contained, complete brooder.

‘‘The One Perfect Brooding Device^'

PRICE $13.50

THE LULLABY BROODER

Get away from the old idea that you should keep fifty chickens in
a lot. You will make almost, if not quite, as much profit with twenty-
five chickens raised in the “Lullaby” way as with fifty raised in the old-
fashioned way.

They will make a great deal better use of food consumed, grow
larger, hardier, and get to laying earlier, and once you plan your plant
properly, you can care for just as many in lots of twenty-five as you did
formerly with fifty together.

It is not a question of how many chicks you put together in the spring
that tells the profit later. It is ^‘Hozv many did you raise out of every
100 hatched?”

United States Poultry Fence

The United States Poultry Fence is galvanized after weav-
ing and will not rust as Fencing galvanized before weaving.

The United States Poultry Fence has proven the best by
test. It has long since established its superiority over other
makes, and is in a class by itself. It is built to withstand
use and abuse and is guaranteed to give satisfaction.

The United States Poultry Fence is strictly a “No-Sagf*
poultry fence, as the combination of line and mesh wires,
closely woven, prevents any lengthening or narrowing be-
tween posts. In erecting United States Poultry Fence the
line wires permit of being stretched to a high tension, which
compels the fence to remain rigid and upright. These fea-
tures place it a long stride beyond the Hex Mesh, Netting,
which never fails to narrow and lengthen if you attempt to
stretch it to a tension required to prevent sagging.

North Star Wool Fat

{Antiseptic Compound)

This natural skin-fat quickly heals scratched
or chapped teats and relieves feverish or caked
udders. Dairymen find that cows require less
time to milk and “give down’’ more freely when
their udders and teats are kept smooth, healthy
and pliable by the frequent application of North
Star Wool Fat.

Horse owners can prevent loss of valuable time
during the busy season by the judicious use of
North Star Wool Fat. It relieves:

SHARPLES PRICES ARE THOSE OF 1908-1913

The Sharpies Company has again taken the lead
among all cream separator manufacturers and the prices
on Sharpies machines today are exactly the same as
those during the years 1908 and 1913. It seems almost
too good to be true but it is again possible to buy a
Sharpies Suction-feed Separator at the old pre-war
price.

This reduction is only made possible through the
great production of the Sharpies factories, the largest
in America, and the recognition by dairymen of every
part of the world of the Sharpies machine as the stand-
ard separator for all dairymen.

The Sharpies Suction-feed Separators are today re-
placing thousands of the old style disc separators on
farms ; and, if you are not already acquainted with the
Sharpies Suction-feed Separator, let us send you a book-
let explaining the many fpatures of this modern ma-
chine found on no others.

Skims Clean at Any Speed

it is practically indestructible. Your stable is in-

Price, each $2.00

THE HUDSON Ct-D WATER BOWU IS THE BEST

The Hudson Q-E> Bowl is the easiest to install
and can be attached to either wood or steel stalls.
It can be easily detached to be cleaned and scoured if
necessary, and replaced as clean as when first in-
stalled. The detachable feature is the only way to
keep the bowl clean and sanitary without trouble.

It is easy to operate, the slightest pressure of the
cow’s nose opens the valve and allows the water to
flow as fast as she drinks. As soon as she raises her
nose the water stops instantly. No eiiance to overflow.

The pressure plate is arranged so it can be easily
removed to prevent the animal drinking.

It can be seen from the illustration that this bowl
may be supplied from either top or bottom. This is
important because of the varying conditions in barns.

Price, $.3.20 each.

For Dairies, Creameries, Etc.

For cleaning vats, pasteurizers, strainers, cans,
pipes, separators, and other articles in your plant
that have become gummy or tainted with stale
odors by the use of soap, soap powder, or some
similar washing compound, there is nothing that
accomplishes this task so easily, and at such little
expense as Wyandotte Dairyman’s Cleaner and
Cleanser. A daily washing of the dairy or fac-
tory equipment will keep everything sweet and
clean !

As you may already know, Wyandotte Dairy-
man’s Cleaner and Cleanser is used by four out
of every five butter and cheesemakers and by
thousands of milk producers. It is the only
cleaner recommended by State Dairy College Au-
thorities. We know you will not be without it
once you give it a thorough trial, and know what
it does, and how little it costs to use.

Detergent

can be used to advantage in cases where a

combined abrasive and cleaner are needed

Wyandotte Detergent is quite different in its
nature from the “Wyandotte” Dairy or Sanitary
Cleaner. It contains a fine, flaky grit which
makes it an abrasive and scourer. It also has
the freshening and sweetening properties of the
other “Wyandotte” products.

For cleaning marble, tile, painted walls, and
other similar surfaces, Wyandotte Detergent is
unsurpassed. It scours clean, but does not
scratch, mar or dull.

Rusty ice cream cans are easily scoured clean
with Wyandotte Detergent, and although Wyan-
dotte Detergent is not a metal polisher, for clean-
ing corroded iron and brass pipes, railings, dirty
sinks, urinals, cuspidors and the like it has no

LOUDEN LABOR SAVING BARN EQUIPMENT

BEST FOR THE FARMEP^BEST FOR THE HERD

The Louden Steel Stall gives the cow the
■«me comfort and freedom of movement she
would have in the field.

For fifty years Louden Hay Tools have been
the world’s standard for strength, simplicity
and efficiency.

Your time is too valuable to be spent push-
ing a wheelbarrow. A Louden Overhead Litter
Carrier solves the problem.

We Can Fit Up Your Barn
Complete With Louden Modern
Sanitary Barn Equipment

Louden equipment makes possible a clean, sanitary
barn with a minumum of expense for upkeep.

When cows are transferred from dark insanitary
shelters to light, well ventilated, well equipped barns
of the Louden type the milk flow invariably increases
from 10 to 25 per cent, and the labor of caring for
the herd is reduced by one-third or one-half.

The cost of installing Louden equipment is surpris-
ingly small, and it is just as great an economy for the
man with half a dozen head of cows as for the man
who has to care for hundreds of animals. The
percentage of labor saved is the same, and in either
case it is 100 per cent profitable.

We are prepared to quote you attractive price on
everything for your barn. The items illustrated are
only a few products of the largest and most complete
line of barn equipment made. Some of these products
we carry in stock; others we can secure for you
promptly.

Going to Build or Remodel a Bam?

If so we shall be glad to secure for you, free of cost
to yourself, a copy of Louden ’s $1.00 book of barn
plans. It 's the most valuable collection of practical
plans and dollar-saving building information ever
published. Contains more
than 50 plans, with complete
description and estimated
cost of construction.

It is yours for the asking.

lems. We shall be glad to

Here you see the SO-inch Ideal Mower that has
enjoyed a wider sale than any power mower
ever built. This splendid machine has a cutting
unit 30 inches in width and will easily mow
three-quarters of an acre per hour. Like all
other Ideal outfits, it is so simple as to be fool-
proof-anyone who can keep a gasoline engine
supplied with gasoline and oil can operate it.

For use on large grounds, we can supply this
same model with a riding trailer attachment,
enabling operator to ride around while doing
his work.

Although introduced only one year ago, the
Ideal Junior has made a name for itself. This
little machine has a cutting unit 22 inches in
width and is recommended for use on small
grounds or as an auxiliary to the 30'-inch model
on larger grounds.

An important feature of both the 30-inch
and the 22-inch Ideal is the traction roller
which irons out the bumps and levels the lawn
while cutting, thereby bearing out the Ideal
claim that it ‘‘rolls as it cuts.’’

The Junior Mower is unsurpassed for keep-
ing putting greens in perfect playing condition.

A special putting green cutting unit is provided
for this purpose which crops the grass quickly
smoothly and evenly.

THE IDEAL POWER TRIPLEX LAWN
MOWER.

Ideal for the Golf Course — Popular on Parks
and Public Grounds.

The Ideal Power Triplex Lawn Mower is a practical
and thoroughly tested machine that literally eats up
the acreage. Cutting a swath 84 inches wide, this
powerful machine cuts between three and four acres
per hour.

In days gone by, it has been almost impossible to
keep an 18-hole or even a 9-hole course in perfect
playing condition — the time required to get over the
ground was so great that by the time the job was
finished, it was necessary to start in again at the
beginning.

Sheep^s Head Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure

We underline Sheep’s Head Brand because there is a great difference in commercial sheep manures as in
commercial fertilizers

Sheep’s Head Brand is the best, both by test and reputation, of any brand on the market. It costs more
and is worth more. Our trade now insists on the Sheep’s Head Brand.

A complete natural fertilizer, supplying all the necessary plant food elements —

Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash — in combination with organic matter or humus, and
it is this natural combination that produces the peculiar action and effect in the soil which
can only be had from animal manures. It can be used without fear of weeds and foreign
grasses that always follow the application of ordinary stable manures.

For the lawn there is nothing better than sheep manure, and its convenience makes’
it the logical fertilizer. There is no straw or other refuse in it as is always the case with
crude manures. Barnyard manure should never be applied to a lawn, as it usually contains
seeds of noxious weeds, which germinate and grow. A few weeks will show surprising
results.

Its use on the vegetable garden will double the yield and insure better vegetables,
also hurry the growth for earlier table use. Probably the best way to use it is to scatter it broadcast, harrowing
or raking it lightly but reserving a little to use in the hills or drills. Then the young plants will have some
nourishment close at hand to give them a good start.

Sheep manure is probably more largely used in greenhouse growing of flowers and vegetables for market than
any other fertilizer, because it is safe, and can be relied upon for quick, sure results. It is unequalled for either
dry or liquid top-dressing, especially for carnations, chrysanthemums, asters, and other hardy floral crops

THE “HOME HOLE” OF THE PORTLAND COUNTRY CLUB

Service to Golf Clubs

^ I ■'HE above picture not only helps to beautify our catalogue,
but illustrates as well the service of the modern seed-house.

It has been our privilege to furnish the Portland Country Club
as well as other Golf Clubs with special mixtures of lawn seed for putting
greens and fairways. This seed is mixed according to formulas pre-
pared by experts — climate and soil being important factors in the selec-
tion of the grasses. Only seed carrying the highest purity and
germinating percentages is considered. We invite correspondence
from Clubs or estates interested in these special lawn mixtures.

The mower shown in the picture is an Ideal Power Triplex
model. This machine, 'cutting a swath 84 inches wide and with a
capacity of three to four acres per hour, covers the course with ease
and satisfaction. We are State distributors for the Ideal Power
Lawn Mower. See page 72.
